Jason Inghram (Mariners): The junior southpaw out of the College of William & Mary will make his Cape League debut Thursday when he takes the mound against the Whitecaps.

Inghram also led the team in strikeouts with 91 and walked just 21 while holding opponents to a .224 batting average.

Dylan Silva (Whitecaps): Silva, a left-handed sophomore from Florida State, played for the Peninsula Oilers of the Alaska Baseball League last summer. After giving up just one earned run over seven relief appearances as a freshman, Silva put in another strong year out of the bullpen as a sophomore, going 4-0 with a 1.90 ERA in 17 appearances, one of which was a start. Silva struck out 28 and walked 14 over 23 2/3 innings on the mound while limiting his opponents to an .195 average.
